I joined a group on here for 30-somethings who are trying to lose 10-25 pounds. I'm hoping that reading their forum will be an extra source of motivation. I read Andra's blog from BPAL.org, and find it inspiring: she's lost 100 pounds in a truly healthy way! But...that's hard for me to relate to, even though I'm very impressed. Her blog is truly interesting, whereas if I had a blog like that, it would be really boring, with no dramatic before/after photos or anything. My "after" will look like me last year, before I gained 10 pounds.
What could be duller to read about than someone struggling with such a small amount? It's only just barely enough for me to notice or care, since I think everyone's weight fluctuates a couple of pounds depending on water retention and so forth. I've gone up a size and my Ann Taylor pants don't fit, which is a Code Red alarm in my mind, but not exactly thrilling for anyone else to be rooting for me. (My husband's reaction: "you've gained weight? Really? Huh. Well, you're hot.") So, joining a group who are my age and losing a fairly small amount will hopefully be a good way to remember that even though I'm not doing anything wildly transformative, my goal is still important to me and therefore worth the effort. :)
